Japanese citizen sends letter to Azerbaijani president

15 July 2011 15:02 (UTC +04:00)

APA reports quoting the presidentâ€™s website that the letter reads: â€œWith your permission, I am sending this letter directly to you. As a citizen of Japan, I would like to express my deep gratitude to the government and people of Azerbaijan for their sincere support for those affected by Japanâ€™s earthquake.

Unfortunately, I had little information about Azerbaijan before this calamity. Prior to writing this letter I tried to find out about Azerbaijan through the Internet. I have reached the conclusion that Azerbaijan is a beautiful country. You have a great international heritage: the Old City with its Palace of Shirvanshahs and the Maiden Tower, the Gobustan State Historical and Art Reserve. These are very nice places. You also have very melodic music. I have obtained information about some dishes of your cuisine.

As a citizen of Japan, I feel very sorry because of the threat being posed to mankind by the damaged nuclear reactor. I do hope that we can cope with the difficulties in the near future.

Mr. President, I would like to express appreciation and respect for you, your government and the people of Azerbaijanâ€
